“Like many Austin musicians, Jake Andrews is a child of the blues, but he’s also the child of John “Toad” Andrews, who played with Mother Earth in the ‘60s. That gave him an edge in the cutthroat music business, but it’s just as likely that the reason why he secured a record contract at the age of 19 was the fact that teenage blues prodigies were a hot commodity in the 90’s. Ever since Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepard, other labels were clamoring for their own hot shot, and Andrews was well-suited for the part, since he can play and has a weathered voice that sounds much older than 19. He also has a tendency to veer away from straightahead blues, favoring blues-rock, as well as the occasional soul song.”
